TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Javier Arenas figures it’s time for No. 2 Alabama to stop living in the past.
The Crimson Tide cornerback isn’t talking about the rich football tradition of titles and wins that the fans hold so dear, but the more recent one of letdowns and breakdowns.

Arkansas State (4-3) has gotten ‘Bama’s attention with an opening upset at Texas A&M and a subsequent 83-10 drubbing of Texas Southern.

It’s going to be a good task for us.”
The Red Wolves also bring an option attack directed by quarterback Corey Leonard, who is averaging 260 yards of total offense. Leonard and running backs Derek Lawson and Reggie Arnold all rank among the Sun Belt’s top nine rushers. More…
